I appreciate how difficult and scary it can be reaching out for help, but you have already taken the first step by visiting my website. With my warm, non-judgmental and understanding approach, I will help you on your journey to understand the difficulties you are facing. I work with adults to successfully reduce stress, anxiety and depression; strengthen friendships and relationships at work and at home, resolve grief, past traumas, and internal conflict, modify negative thinking and self-destructive behaviors, build self-esteem, foster self-discovery, and help improve one's overall quality of life experiences.

In life, we often encounter challenges and painful experiences. With these challenges, you might have found yourself in a place of feeling stuck. Your familiar relational and emotional patterns of coping might not be as helpful as they previously were. Relationships might have become more difficult rather than life giving. As your therapist, my goal is to come alongside of you during this hard time in your life and guide you toward a place of peace and balance.

I specialize in three different types of clients – couples who love each other but are on thin ice, stressed-out executives who pay the price of success as well as accomplished gay men who feel like an imposter. As someone who has been through and overcame a fair amount in life, I have a great deal of empathy as well as a nifty toolbox for those who are ready to get off the merry-go-round. You may be trying to pick up the pieces after a betrayal, or just tired of arguing about the same old sh*t or wrestling with negative thoughts that hold you, hostage. I am ready to roll up my sleeves if you are and help you sort it all out.

New beginnings can often be disguised as painful endings. I work closely with those who have been through tragic events, suffered childhood abuse, those who have been victimized by others, as well as those who might feel like they have nowhere left to turn. My goal is to help you find your inner strength, and to courageously be free to display it and be proud. I am empathetic to my client’s needs, ambitious to provide support, and offer a nonjudgmental space for you to share and truly be heard.

Do you want life as you know it to be different? Better somehow? If your answer is yes; that's all that matters. I work with relational struggles; with the self, soul, significant other, and life. I'm not here to judge you for why the better isn't here, I am here to help you get it. Life might be repetitively hard and you want something to change but don't know how or what, and that leaves you feeling stuck and frustrated. Better is possible. Let's find it.

Are you looking for help with your marriage? Are you experiencing painful silence or loneliness when your spouse is in the other room? Sometimes couples bicker and fight in an attempt to get close, and other times they give up and decide to withdraw and live independent lives. In my 30 years as a psychologist, I have helped change the direction of couples that find themselves in situations like the one described above.

Are you tired of feeling sad, thinking to yourself is my life ever going to get any better? Is your love life one big mess that seems to keep going around and around in heart breaking cycles and all you want to do is just get it right? Or perhaps you feel disconnected from your partner or others in your life and feel helpless and lost. Please don't let your struggles go untreated......

Hi, my name is Matt Fleischman. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Newport Beach. I have over 10 years of experience working with children, teens, young adults, families, and couples with a variety of mental heath issues. I specialize in working with children and teens with: Behavior problems, ADHD, Depression, Trauma, and Relationship Difficulties. I am currently taking new clients. You are welcome to call me for a free consultation. I look forward to working with you!

There will be instances when you feel "stuck" or experience suffering. The time is now to invest in yourself. Guidance from a professional outside of the current situation may provide necessary support to alleviate distress and find your path. To achieve this, I provide a warm and safe environment in which to explore areas of concern and strength. I believe our collaboration together will be key to face challenges and proceed with a more informed perspective. I have treated issues not limited to: anxiety, co-dependency, recovery, life transitions, chronic illness, abuse, childhood disorders, divorce, co-parenting, and depression.

In the years of experience of working with people I have seen the most effective help comes in the form of deep value for the person, their story and the unique strengths they bring to life. Whatever challenge a person comes with, I seek to empower the change he/she desires to live a life they can love.

This time of year can be the worst! It gets dark so early, it's colder, it's rainy... sometimes, and I find myself just getting by. Can you relate? You are not alone. What if I told you life can be more than just get through it. What if we could make some tweaks here and there to get you on track? Would you be in? The type of therapy that we do is specific, short-term, and straight to the point. No messing around. Oh and by the way Holidays are coming... are you ready for the chaos that comes with this time of the year?

Most of us search for a feeling of inner comfort and confidence in our work and relationships. The difficulties, pain, and sometimes confusion that arises in trying to meet emotional needs is frequently what leads to seeking help. I am a psychologist, marriage family therapist, and psychoanalyst with more than 30 years of experience treating adolescents, adults, and couples. My approach is to connect with my patients with understanding and new levels of insight. The deeper insight and feeling of being understood allows for inner change and confidence in the people that I treat.

As the author of the book, Facing Your Fears, Following Your Dreams and Finding Success, I have watched 100's of clients change their lives to be more fulfilling and successful. I work individually, in groups or over the phone to help coach clients towards accomplishing their dreams. Most people realize that we are our own worst enemies. By changing negative and fearful thoughts into positive and goal directed thinking, minor miracles start to occur. With 30 years of experience I have worked with clients to find more happiness in their relationships, and improve the quality of their lives.

I am a well trained and highly experienced clinical psychologist with CURRENT OPENINGS in my schedule for new clients. I established my practice in Newport Beach in 1983, after serving as a psychologist for the U.S. Navy following completion of internships at the Orange County Mental Health Department and National Naval Medical Center Bethesda Maryland. I am past President of the Orange County Psychological Association, and former member of the Board of Directors of the California Psychological Association. I am a proud Viet Nam War veteran who retired in 2001 after 30 years of combined active duty and reserve service with the rank of Commander. I am an expert at assessing complex cases. I help people cope with stress and adapt to difficult life situations. I specialize in both short term solution-focused counseling as well as longer term intensive psychodynamic psychotherapy. When necessary, I refer to competent psychiatrists for medication. Therapy is a big investment, and I have the utmost respect for my clients' time and money.

CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS~~Would you like a full assessment including psychological testing? Perhaps for ADHD? Is stress or anxiety impacting your sleep, work, health & your relationships? Perhaps you're wondering if it's ever going to get better. You may fear that you are "going crazy." You've tried to do it on your own with different coping skills but it does not seem to work. You are not alone! Anxiety and depression is a brain disease and it is quite common, but there is hope! There are many successful and evidence-based ways I can help you experience a sense of peace and get back to doing the things you want to do!

Logical Behavioral Health providers are professionals who understand and prioritize your care above all else. We believe that in certain cases, good care even means providing a referral to someone outside of our office if our providers are not the best fit for your behavioral health care needs. The overall course of treatment will ultimately utilize a collaborative approach in helping you achieve mutually formulated treatment goals to reduce symptoms and improve functioning. If you believe that you need a referral to a psychiatrist or other health care professional, we have the resources to provide you with an appropriate referral.

I believe that life ebbs and flows with the changes of life's demands. Many of these changes are positive ones, but at times hardships can follow, needing assistance and guidance in finding solutions. This is where the therapeutic process can help in alleviating your symptoms, bringing about new energy and happiness in enjoying life's many adventures. My enjoyment in the therapeutic process is one of discovery and collaboration in identifying difficulties and solutions to the patient's problems. Above all, I believe the relationship between the patient and therapist is the cornerstone to achieving the patient's goals.

No matter what you're feeling or thinking or going through, I'd welcome the chance to work through it by your side--whether you're a teen or an adult, we can start figuring it out, together. If you're reading this, you might be ready to jump right in or you might be taking that first tentative step towards finding someone to talk to; either way, you've already actively moved forward (though I know it sometimes doesn't feel that way). If you're struggling with your feelings, your thoughts, or a difficult situation, I hope that you'll reach out; nobody is meant to handle everything on their own, and you absolutely don't have to.
